Uganda’s motorcycle start-up SafeBoda has opened a boda-boda training facility to increase road safety and professionalise the boda-boda industry in Uganda. 

Boda-Boda riders are the highest cause of motor accidents in Uganda according to police statistics. According to a report published in September 2017 by the Ministry of Works and Transport, at least 10 people die every day as a result of road accidents involving boda-boda riders.
